Under the leadership of Jes Olesen, Denmark, the European Brain Council (EBC) has developed a ‘cost of brain disease’ project in the last decade, which essentially became one of the most important databases for the development of European Research policy. In 2012 the costs for neurological disease alone were estimated to be 303 billion €/year and the costs for all brain diseases added up to 798 billion €/year, which is about 6 times the budget of the European Union.

The European Academy of Neurology is announcing its third congress from June 24th- June 27th at the RAI Congress Center in Amsterdam. We are expecting more than 6000 neurologists from Europe and all over the world for this outstanding annual event. The programme and the education committee of the EAN worked hard to create a program which will present cutting edge science and first class education for the general neurologist. The purpose is to present excellence in neurology and when the participants leave the congress they will know all about the current status and the important news in our field.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands, also known as Holland, has been densely populated from medieval times with the largest part of the population living in cities. Amongst these are many well-preserved gems like the university town of Leiden, where Rembrandt van Rijn was borne, Haarlem, the city of Frans Hals, the cheese town Alkmaar in the north, the Hansa town of Deventer in the east, the astute university city of Groningen in the north and Maastricht, the capital of the province of Limburg.

This new format was developed to share and improve knowledge on skills important for career development, independent of sub-speciality. This means, trainees and young professionals form all areas of neurology may find a course that matches their needs.

As in the previous years, EANpages asked EAN committee members, panel chairs, and invited speakers  which session one should not miss at the upcoming congress in Lisbon 2018. Please find their answers below!
